Glasgow Harley - Trusted Legal Services Since 1858 | Nelson Lawyers

Glasgow Harley is a long-established law firm serving Te Tau Ihu (the top of the South Island) with quality legal services since 1858. The firm was formed by the merger of two of Nelson's oldest and most respected law firms, with one branch tracing back to 1858 and the other to 1885. Over four generations of lawyers have built deep connections with the Nelson Tasman community, serving both private and legal aid clients.

The firm operates as a dynamic team committed to delivering legal support to the highest standard, seamlessly merging the services of a large firm with the specialist skills of a smaller practice. Their diverse and deeply experienced team of partners and lawyers provides a broad range of standard legal services alongside specialist services that are relevant locally. The firm puts people first - both clients and staff - and maintains strong bonds with individuals, organisations and businesses throughout the region and beyond.

Glasgow Harley offers comprehensive services across multiple practice areas including property transactions (residential, rural, commercial, subdivisions and leases), trusts and estates (wills, probate, estate administration, enduring powers of attorney), family law (including collaborative law, parenting orders, relationship property, protection orders), employment law (for both employers and employees), and commercial law (business transactions, partnerships, franchises, company formations, debt recovery). The firm also provides specialist services in areas such as family protection claims, aged welfare and care issues, and aquaculture law.
